Silence, Full Stop: A Memoir

A breathtaking and gut-wrenchingly real graphic memoir of the struggles of an adolescent girl processing the trauma of childhood sexual assault. 

An immigrant at the age of six, she arrived in a strange new world. Karina was labeled different immediately, and a desire to be invisible was born. The different label expanded to weird and freak, terms that she fervently embraced. By taking society's critique, owning it, and taking pride in it, she gained power over it. In a life overshadowed by fear, Karina wanted control. If something was going to ruin her life it would be her and her alone.
